How did you earn your gold?

[jubisman]

So, I've just reached 60 once again after my last ban and again I'm completely broke. My question to you rich folk is: how did you get where you are?
Did you farm gold until you had enough to buy champion hunting gear? Did you buy it from the auction house? Were you just really lucky? Did you actually work hard for it? AH speculation? None of the above?
Share you secrets here and maybe we'll all get a little richer, and, if not, just me would be OK too i guess.

You could always go gear hunting budget style, you should have a few hundred k gold from leveling at least. People cleared entire inferno in shit gear, surely the bot can manage a1 in some less ideal gear while you build up nephalem and slowly increase the ammount of passive gold u get? :>

I thought about that. How long would you say it takes to get decent GF/MF botting on inferno a1?

I just (on a whim) geared up a barb for a1 inferno champ farming for < 1M. His stats are 1300loh, 28k hp, 50dps, 800-900 res all (buffed w/ battle cry marauder's and warcry impunity). He clears A1 fine, maybe 1 death every 3-4 hours. I spent 300k on the weapon, and basically 50-80k on every other piece.

Gear is super cheap now if you stick to lower all res (<50) and focus on high stats.. I'm sure you could do better if you spent time, but I spent 15minutes gearing him up just to get the bot going.

Just buy 1M in gold from someone for $1 and get your bot going

imho, forget inferno for now.. run a3 and gold farm in NM or hell.. spend every penny you have and get pick up radius and GF gear asap.. let that run for a few weeks.. shit gear can net 300k an hour. sweet gear like mine i net 400-450k per hour. thats a million gold every three hours roughly.. let that run for a week 24/7 then you should be flush enough to start chipping away at some champ farm gear. witch in my case is low dps high res and vitality. for now anyways. good luck

Hey guys, thanks a lot for the response.

My barb is actually very similar, only with a lower dps, but I have about 500k as of now and maybe I could buy myself a decent sword.

How much would you say I should spend on a GF gear to do that?
